How to raise colorful fish? Let’s start with the water quality. When we buy our favorite colorful, after we go home (the purchases have been discussed earlier, we will not repeat them here), first put the fish and pockets into the water for 10 minutes (according to Change the time according to the specific situation, soak for a while in winter). Wait until the temperature of the tank water and the water in the pocket are the same (you can use a thermometer to measure, the temperature should be kept at 28 degrees to 30 degrees). First pour out 1/5 of the water in the pocket, and then scoop the water into the tank in the same amount as the poured water. After finishing, tie the bag tightly and repeat the above actions after 10-15 minutes. And so on, wait until the water in the pocket is exactly the same as the tank water before placing the fish. When placing fish, do not use your hands to catch fish, and do not use fishing nets to catch fish, because the colorful dorsal fin has many spines, which are easy to hook on the fishing net, which is difficult to handle. The best way is to let the pocket sink naturally and let the fish come out of the pocket by itself (in fact, these have been mentioned before, and there is nothing wrong with reviewing the old, and this is also for the sake of being more handy in the future).

The water quality of my fish is like this, the water temperature of medium fish and big fish is 28 degrees and not more than 30 degrees, and the temperature of small fish is 30 degrees. The pH value is not adjusted for no special reason. Our pH here is average. At around 7:6, the hardness is also not adjusted for no special reason. Start feeding on the third day after the fish is released (the fish mentioned here are all fish that have been quarantined and processed in specialty stores. If they are selected from ordinary stores, it will be another matter. You can refer to the previous article on quarantine treatment of new fish. article), even if the fish you just bought have begun to ask for food, do not feed them. For the food, I used my own burgers (the recipe was mentioned before, you can find them in the colorful album) and fed them with frozen blood worms. Many friends talk about eating frozen blood worms instead of hamburgers. It’s actually quite normal. Blood worms are the food that “fish see fish love”. The method is when the fish is very hungry and the feeding behavior is very strong (usually obvious at the first feeding on the third day. Of course, it is best if the specialty store has trained the color to eat hamburgers. So buy fish You can ask the boss if they have been trained to eat hamburgers.) I first used a small amount of blood worms to arouse their appetite, and then put in a small amount of hamburgers to let them familiarize themselves with hamburgers first. After a few blood worms have eaten, most of the color's attention will be focused on the hamburger, and some of them will try to eat the hamburger, although not much. But the premise is don't put too many blood worms, let them eat. The blood worms only play a supporting role here, and the burgers play the leading role. Who wants to eat a hamburger if they're too full of bloodworms? As they try the burger, you can watch them and see which fish are interested in the burger, which ones like it, and which ones go away without even touching Ben. If they don't eat it, you can see if there is something wrong with them. If there is no physical problem, it means that they are really not interested in hamburgers and only like to eat blood worms. They would rather starve to death than eat other food. You're out of luck if you run into such a fish haha, I've run into a few of them, more than 100 fish like to eat hamburgers, and only four of them don't even look at them. When the hamburgers are finished, they run faster than anyone else when they feed the bloodworms and eat more than anyone else.

Pet reported that the first feeding should not be too much, the main thing is to familiarize them with hamburgers and let them eat three-thirds full. If after 10 minutes, there is still residual food at the bottom of the tank (not better!) Use a straw to suck out the residual bait, so as not to break the water. Then put in new water, the temperature should be the same as the original tank. The method I use is to put warm hot water directly from the water heater, put some dechlorination agent, and pour it into the tank when the temperature of the water in the tank is the same. If the water is very hot, put some cold water to neutralize it before pouring it into the tank. It is better if there is a special water storage device. It’s just that many players are raising fish at home, and it’s not practical to use equipment to store water, and it also takes up a lot of space. So I had to use this simpler method. The frequency and amount of water changes should be based on personal habits. It stands to reason that 100% of the water should be changed after every meal, so as to promote the growth of fish by stimulating their metabolism. But since we are players, we mainly appreciate fish. Of course, it is impossible to change the water as frequently as in a fish farm. That is not fish farming, but it is exhausting us. Besides, we don't have so much time to change the water, so this requires us to pay more attention to feeding and filtering. Since we are office workers, we don't have much time to feed, at most once in the morning, once after get off work in the afternoon, and once before going to bed at night. , so it is best to feed a little more in the morning, 80% full is enough (you can clearly see that the fish belly is bulging, and there should be no residual bait at the bottom of the tank), and in the afternoon, it is best to feed 50% full, and you can feed it before going to bed Once, it is better to have a smaller amount than that in the afternoon. After feeding, change the water by 20% and then turn off the lights and sleep. This method is relatively simple.
